Hove Bags Race 4

Race 4

Prize Money: $720

POCKET DARCEY (2) is heading the right way. In the minors two back with a narrow third then scored by a nose in an A6 last time at this track over 500m (30.12). Up a grade but in form and pay to follow up. FIRST CHOSEN (1) was well in the market last time but only managed fourth (30.24), beaten 2 lengths. Was in the money the start prior. Worth another chance. RATTYTATTY (3) is heading the right way. Out of the placings two back then scored by 1.3 lengths last start at this track over 500m (30.54). Faces a stiffer grade but latest effort hard to fault. DROOPYS BAFTA (6) is a chance after winning last time.

In the money two back then disappointed when she finished 4th in an A5 on February 25 over 500m at this track behind Mertonaby Lad beaten 2 lengths (30.24). Should prove hard to beat.

Solid effort after tracking the speed to score in an A6 by nose at this track over 500m (30.12). Has never missed the frame from four starts out of this draw. Major player.

Was out of the placings at final run of debut campaign, finishing fifth (32.89) at this track before going for a six months spell. Tough line-up and place prospects appear best.
